I originally intended to name this article "Setting up a Kafka Message Queue Cluster." However, unlike RabbitMQ, Kafka does not implement message queue protocols (for example, Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)). AMQP provides advanced queuing protocols for unified message services. It is an open standard for application layer protocols and designed for message-oriented middleware. Therefore, although Kafka's usage mode is more like a queue, it is still not strictly a message queue. So I decided to give this article a more generic name: "An Overview of Kafka Distributed Message System." Introduction to Kafka LinkedIn was the first company to develop Kafka using the Java and Scala languages. Its source code was open sourced in 2011, and it became a top project of the Apache Software Foundation in 2012. In 2014, several founders of Kafka set up a new company named Confluent, which specialized in Kafka.
